ALS or as Americans call it Lou Gehrig disease is a high-profile disease because of the ice bucket challenge despite the low incidence (6 out of 100,000) compared to other diseases like coronary disease or some cancers.
The disease is cruel, and it hits home for many of us as there are no mental deterioration like with dementia, Alzheimer's or FPD but you lose the ability to use your body and survival less than 3 years.
I can see why the FDA and congress are desperate to be seen to do something.
